Death rides on June 26, 2012…rides into stores that is! Today, the official Darksiders Twitter account revealed the release date for Darksiders II.

They also tweeted a link to details about the (obligatory) pre-order bonuses. Hit the jump for more details about the various packs.

Darksiders II takes place concurrently with its predecessor and follows the Horseman Death as he tries to figure out who set up his brother, War. As has become the norm for major releases, each of the three major retailers is getting their own exclusive bonus.

Gamestop: Pre-orders from Gamestop come with the “Death Rides” pack which features exclusive sidequests “allowing players to explore more of the Maker’s Realm and Dead Plains.”

Best Buy: Purchases from Best Buy include the “Angel of Death” comes with exclusive angelic looking armor and matching scythes.

Amazon: And finally if you prefer to pre-order from Amazon, you’ll receive the “Deadly Despair” pack which grants a permanent speed increase to Death’s horse, Despair, that “allows players to traverse the world at a much faster rate.”

Only going by the info we have now, I think Gamestop might have the best bonus because it includes actual quests not just equipment or permanent buffs for your horse. If you really need a pre-order bonus to make Despair go faster, what does that say about the speed it was originally programmed with?

There are links to the bonuses being offered by retailers outside the U.S.A. in the thread on the Darksiders website.

How can I be how I used to be or even better? (Athletics, sgnretth, speed, basketball, baseball, workouts?)?Hello, I am a 13 year old girl in Summer Break. I use to play baseball and hopefully will continue soon and play basketball for my school.•For both sports I am fast ( running up and down the court and rounding the bases and running the mile every Wednesday with a time of 9-10 minutes.) •For baseball in hitting, I can’t hit home runs since the last time I played (2007) but before summer started I hit a little farther. When I went to a baseball park with the amount of feet the distance is showed on the wall, I almost hit the 300 ft mark im guessing.•For baseball in fielding, it was rare for me to make physical and mental errors. I played shortstop and second. •For baseball in pitching, Im not a speed thrower, but I am accurate with my strike zone. (I can throw both fastballs, changeup, and once in a while a 12-6 curve.•I have been urging to play but can’t seem to find any teams out there.. I had one in mind, but my cousin (the coach) has been lagging when its going to start and 13 is my last year to play. (Almost at my problem)b0 For basketball, I play point guard. For 2 years in a row, I’ve won an award that meant I was the best on the team. b0 Making free throws, im not Perfect but id say I make 60-80 %. b0 Defensively, I don’t think im that good but I can get rough with someone I don’t like, lol.b0 Shooting, I am pretty good. One game, I shot 3 behind the arc but altogether I had 14 points. Altogether, we scored 18. b0 The first season I played, we were 9 1. But our other star player left to another school. Darn.b0 So, the next season ( one im mostly talking about) we were 0-10!!!! Goooooosh. Embarrasing..So my problem is this – I want to achieve my goal of being the best I can possibly be. I want to be speedy fast, Shoot like Kobe, and pitch like Lincecum. But not realisticaly speaking of course. Just so I can be like them on my own level. But its Summer Break so I haven’t been home, practicing any drills, working out, stretching, or any of that. I feel so disguting, like a couch potato, and im aching everywhere because I am so UNathletic right now. I use to be able to touch my toes when I stretch, but now I CAN’T! So please, please, if you can give me any tips, workouts, exercises, stretches, or ANYTHING that could help me become one of the best or back to what I could do, I would appreciate it very much. Also, I haven’t been in much physical activity this summer besides swimming 4 times (water parks) and going to an amusement park. My back and legs are also hurting very much from not doing anything everyday since swimming, ( July 12, swimming) and that’s it.. But school ended June 4th, and I haven’t ran the mile since the Wednesday before. So please any workouts with the amount of time I should do it for. I don’t know when my baseball is going to start of if its gonna start at all. But my basketball schedule starts in november for sure. Sorry for so much, but im just really worried, anxious, and willing to do whatever to be the best I can be. For about 5 days out of 4 weeks or about 20-30 days out of this summer, I’ve been watching tv, on the computer, and playing video games because im not at home and can’t go anywhere. I feel so lazy, and stupid, and just disgusted with myself. So PLEASE HELP ME!!! Thank you ..
